Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-29
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I move amendment No. 4:
In page 22, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:
“(7) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prejudice the generality of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015.”.
Amendment No. 4 introduces a catch-all provision to confirm that nothing in the Bill should be construed to prejudice the generality of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015. This amendment ensures coherence and consistency across all the relevant provisions in this Bill which refer to capacity-related matters and allows the deletion of the terms "subject to the provisions of" or " the generality of" the 2015 Act later in the Bill. These deletions are also the purpose of the other six amendments in this group, which are amendments No. 7, 50, 69, 71, 74 and 79.
